Jennifer Livingston, a television news anchor on WKBT-TV in Lacrosse, Wisc., received an email critical of her appearance and questioning her ability to serve as a "suitable example for young people, and girls in particular."

Livingston has these words for adults: "Bullying behavior is learned. We need to teach our kids to be kind, not critical, and we need to do that by example."

And this advice for young people who are being bullying: "Do not your let your self worth be defined by bullies. Learn from my experience that the cruel words of one are nothing, compared to the shouts of many."
